I recently brewed a carrot ale, and i was a bit disappointed at the lack of orange color.
I tried to search via google for any pointers, but all i found was how to dye a crappy light lager green for St Patty's day.
I was wondering if anyone else has used any additives to color their beer, other than malts. I'd like to avoid food coloring if I could, but that might mean I'll get some additional flavors thrown into the mix (for instance, i think beet juice or something similar would add a lot of color, but it's also adding fermentables and potentially flavor)
any thoughts?
